Seeing Cyrillic characters

My machine seems to have stopped writing Cyrillic characters. Where might I find that switch (which I apparently turned off inadvertently)?
Thanks

Interesting. It was set to automatic.
It's always set to automatic unless you change it. Try any of the following on one of the messages you can't read: UTF-8 or Cyrillic Windows, KOI8-R, ISO-8859-5.
If you don't have those, go to system prefs/international/languages and add russian to the list, using the Edit button if necessary.
When you need to do this manually, it indicates the message was probably sent using defective software that fails to tell the recipient what encoding to use, because when that is done everything happens automatically.

Browsers no longer able to read russian / cyrillic characters

Ever since i upgrading to Snow Leopard just recently i noticed that my all browsers (safari, firefox, chrome etc) are unable to read russian / cyrillic characters. While i can type russian letters in the search bar or in pages / key notes for example i can not read or write in the browsers.
As an example if i go to google.ru i can't read the writing ... I've uploaded a screenshot for you to see here: http://cl.ly/0g2u0e10363I2b1a0i1f/
The text encoding is set how should be also.
Please let me know if you can help ...

Very strange! There is of course one word which you can in fact read, namely веб at the upper left, the only one which is not a link of some sort. Could you provide another example where the site is showing text and not links?

It looks like you might have font encoding problem.
If possible, try using webmail instead of Mail and see if things change.
Also do View > Message > Raw Source and copy/paste the result in an email to me and I may be able to help (tom at bluesky dot org).

Cyrillic characters in Layer-7 Class Maps statements ?

Hi,
For a specific implementation, I need the ACE to parse URIs with cyrillic characters in a Layer-7 class-map. Does the ACE-4710 support it ?
If yes, how to enter them in a L7 class-map statement like : match http url /Искусство.*
Thank you for any hints
Yves

Hi Yves,
I cannot find anything regarding this and i don't see a way to put that in there. I tried pasting it in my ACE and it didn't take it. I would suggest to open a TAC case for official confirmation.

Kanwal

SOLUTION: Displaying Russian/Cyrillic characters in Zen Mi

I saw a number of posts on this forum from people who couldn't get their Zen Micro to display cyrillic characters. I didn't see any messages with a solution to this so I thought it wasn't possible with the current freeware.
I am happy to report that my Zen Micro now displays russian characters without any problems.
The only thing I had to do was set the following preference:
Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced -> Language for non-Unicode Pograms
Restart your computer, and now Zen Micro Media Explorer will be able to import mp3 files with Russian characters in the ID3 tags.
I am using a regular US Windows XP Home.
Hope this hel
ps.

Spotlight Google search in Safari gives Google links in Cyrillic characters

It's bizarre, I know, but when I use Spotlight as a quick access to Google, the page comes up with the Google links (Web, Images, Groups etc. at the top; Cached, Similar pages after each entry) displayed in Cyrillic characters in a language I don't know, although the search results are in English, in Latin type. But when I navigate to Google, all the text comes out "normal" in English, in Latin type.
I presume this is somehow due to settings going astray but I can't find how to locate the settings to change them.
(a) Does anyone know how this is happening?
(b) Does anyone know how to fix it?
For the time being I just don't use the Spotlight Google search in Safari, but it would be a useful shortcut to be able to use it.
(Posted here on the premise that it is a Spotlight rather than a Safari problem, but also under Safari because it relates to that too.)

Try quitting Safari. Then select Safari in the Applications folder and Get Info. Deselect any Language you don't want. Close the Get Info window and reopen Safari to see if the problem is corrected. If not, you might try trashing the com.apple.Safari.plist file after quitting Safari.

Using cyrillic characters in cfdocument

Hi,
I'm currently developing on a CF8 single installation on a RedHat AS 4 machine using apache.
I have a multilingual web app that requires the on the fly creation of .pdf files, and those .pdf files require some if not all of their content to be presentable in languages using Cyrillic characters. I have all this working and it's very efficient, except for 1 problem.
The only way I can get the cyrillic characters to be correctly included in the .pdf is to take for example the Arial.ttf font from a WinXP box and install it in the CF fonts directory: /opt/coldfusion8/runtime/jre/lib/fonts, by default there are only 5 versions of the Lucinda font.
So my question is, seeing as I don't think I can use the MS Arial.ttf, since TrueType fonts are under MS trademark, is there a solution to this using any free fonts? It would be much better if I could find a solution using a single font supporting unicode that can display such languages as Macedonian, Russian and Polish, as well as th Sinitic languages, (I know the syntax is different, but it would be nice to have the option)
Hope someone can help!
Thanks,
Ash

Cyrillic characters in email from discussions

Hi.
I'm subscribed to a particular topic, and I've been receiving the usual emails for each new posting. These have been fine except for this one: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9346909#9346909
The email didn't show the message in the usual font, but instead displayed it in Cyrillic (Russian) characters, yet as you can see, the posting is in perfectly normal English.
Anyone know what's going on?
Bob

The OP apologizes for his poor English, perhaps the original post was made in a language that uses Cyrillic characters and then translated or revised?

How to search Youtube with cyrillic characters?

Before the last update of Apple TV, we were able to use our iPod with the Remote application and search for Russian programs with Cyrillic characters from the Cyrillic keyboard on the iPod. Now when we try, every time we enter a Cyrillic character we get some message saying that Youtube was not communicating. Anyone have any ideas how we can search Youtube in Cyrillic characters again?
thanks,

Hi,
How to use to search Notification number or something with wildcard search,
see following e.g.,
DATA: L_TRANS TYPE RANGE OF ZNOTIF-TRANS.
DATA: BEGIN OF WA_TRANS,
       SIGN(1),
       OPTION(2),
       LOW(45),
       HIGH(45),
      END OF WA_TRANS.
        WA_TRANS-SIGN = 'I'.
        WA_TRANS-OPTION = 'CP'.
        WA_TRANS-LOW = INIT-TranNumber.
        APPEND WA_TRANS TO L_TRANS.
        SELECT * FROM NOTIF
                 INTO TABLE ZNOTIF
                 WHERE TRANS IN L_TRANS.
        IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
Basically if i give '111' or '111%' or '111*' for INIT-TranNumber which is the first 3 digit for most of the notification. It doesn't give any entry.
How to handle wild card search '*' if WA_TRANS-LOW is initial?
Thank you

Six magic cyrillic characters?

Hello!
Sorry, if such topic have already been submitted.
Could someone, please, clarify and/or propose any solution for the next problem?
There are six cyrillic characters which are converted from Unicode into UTF-8 incorrectly: 3 uppercase letters (\u0410 \u0401 \u041D) and 3 lowercase letters (\u0441 \u044D \u044F).
It seems that the problem appears on every Java platform. I tried IBM1.4.0, IBM1.3.1, SUN1.3.1_04, SUN1.3.1_08, SUN1.4.2 and SUN1.5.0_02 on WIN2000PRO - the result is the same.
Here is the test (see comments also):
//--------------------------------------------------------- src begin...
public class IsABug {
protected static void dumpString(String str) {
System.out.println("--- Dump string. Length: " str.length()" ---");
byte[] b = str.getBytes();
for (int i=0; i<b.length; i++) {
System.out.println(i + " = " + b[i] );
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// OK. Each character is translated into sequence of different UTF-8 codes
String okstr = "\u0412\u0421\u0415 \u041E\u041A";
String ok = new String(okstr.getBytes("UTF-8"));
dumpString(ok);
/*OUTPUT:
--- Dump string. Length: 11 ---
0 = -48
1 = -110
2 = -48
3 = -95
4 = -48
5 = -107
6 = 32
7 = -48
8 = -98
9 = -48
10 = -102
/* ERROR1. The next string consist of different characters, but
* after conversion into UTF-8 the result is the sequence of the
* identical byte pairs: (-48,63), (-48,63), (-48,63).
String errstr1 = "\u0410\u0401\u041D";
String er1 = new String(errstr1.getBytes("UTF-8"));
dumpString(er1);
/* OUTPUT:
--- Dump string. Length: 6 ---
0 = -48
1 = 63
2 = -48
3 = 63
4 = -48
5 = 63
/* ERROR2. The next string consist of different characters, but
* after conversion into UTF-8 the result is the sequence of the
* identical byte pairs: (-47,63) (-47,63) (-47,63).
String errstr2 = "\u0441\u044D\u044F";
String er2 = new String(errstr2.getBytes("UTF-8"));
dumpString(er2);
/* OUTPUT:
--- Dump string. Length: 6 ---
0 = -47
1 = 63
2 = -47
3 = 63
4 = -47
5 = 63
//----------------------------------------------------- src end
Is it a bug?

Yes, it's a bug. In your program. You are not testing UTF-8 conversion at all.String errstr1 = "\u0410\u0401\u041D";
String er1 = new String(errstr1.getBytes("UTF-8"));This takes that String of 3 characters and converts it to bytes, using the UTF-8 encoding. You now have an array of bytes that is encoded in UTF-8. Next you convert those bytes to a String, assuming that they were encoded according to your system's default encoding. Since you don't get the original string back, that just means that your system's default encoding is not UTF-8. Try this instead:String errstr1 = "\u0410\u0401\u041D";
String er1 = new String(errstr1.getBytes("UTF-8"), "UTF-8");

Printing cyrillic characters

Hi all,
We have a problem printing cyrillic (bulgarian) characters. An output type is created when we save an invoice and a spool is generated. If we see this spool (print preview) in SAP the characters are displayed properly (maybe you need to flag Activate multibyte characters in SAP options).
However when we print the document the cyrillic characters are transformed to other symbols. Do you know where could be the problem?
Thank you.

Hello
Run SAPLPD -> Options -> Font substitution
SAP fontname = Courier New -> Windows fontname = Courier New Cyr
Arial -> Arial Cyr
Times New Roman -> Times New Roman Cyr
and so on ...
I hope it will help you.

ITunes does not display Cyrillic characters correctly in Windows 7 Starter

I try to copy my songs from iTunes (9.0 running Mac OS X 10.6 Russian interface language) with tags containing Cyrillic characters (song name, artist, etc.) into iTunes 9.1 (russian interface) on netbook running Windows 7 Starter English. I do it via Home sharing option in iTunes.
Some songs with Russian titles displayed OK, but some of them display wrong characters (see attached screenshot).

How to see Greek characters inside a PDF report (made with XML Publisher)

Hi,
I just patched my e Business Suite (ver. 11.5.9) in order to use XML Publisher 5.6.3.
It works fine, but I have a big problem when I want to see Greek characters inside my report; instead to see the Greek characters I see only '?????'
I tried to add some font under the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility following the Doc ID: 373377.1 "How To Install a Font Using XML Publisher Administrator", but my problem remains: I don't see my Greek characters
Do I need to add any other fonts on the file system ? and where ? (under which path), or I set something at the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility level (under the Administration link) ?
Any help will be appreciated, because it's very urgent to know how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance
Alex

Alex,
Please verify the value of $AF_CLASSPATH variable and make sure that JRE_TOP/lib/fonts is part of this env variable (in addition to $CLASSPATH).

Cyrillic Characters not shown in pdf file when xsl is parsed

Part of the application we have created allows the user to view PDF pages, so they are more suitable for printing.
We create xsl files which eventually get transformed into the PDF format.
We use the javax.xml.Transform.Transformer to transform the xsl file and xml.
We use the org.exolab.castor.xml.Marshallerto general the xml.
We use Apache Fop to turn the XML into the PDF format.
Before it was working fine, we get some text from a resource file, which we call in the xsl. But now we want to do this in Russian. When we read the same resource file in the xsl, but with the cyrillic characters in it, the pdf view is just question marks, and other characters. Nothing russian.
Does anyone know where I could start looking to find out what is wrong?

just generate the font metrics files for the fonts you intend to use, as explained on FOP web site, then you will get the Cyrillic chars.

Cyrillic Characters not shown in pdf file when xsl is parsed part 2:

I am using Fop to create a pdf file from an XSL file, an XML file and a ApplicationResources.properties file.
The XML file is populated by a Java class, where the information is taken from a Russian Database. This XML file is them used to populate the XSL file.
The ApplicationResources.properties file, is in windows 1251 format, as we converted it using NativeToAscii converter.
I downloaded a cyrillic ttf file, and created a metrics file, according to the Fop website. And I had Russian appearing on my PDF from the database (not ApplicationResources.properties file though). However, the information which we were retrieving from the database would not display on the jsp pages which are part of the same application.
To fix this, we changed our database driver from a ODBC-JDBC driver, to an oracle thin type 4 driver.
Since this happened, my cyrillic characters no longer appear on my PDF file.
I know that the information from the database comes back in windows 1251 format, so I tried to put the
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251"?>
and
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Cp1251"?>
but when I do this, I get the following error in my log file:
L2|14:14:58:433|ExecuteThread-9|PDFService.generatePDF: class com.petrotechnics.skyobma.service.SkyobmaServiceException Exception :javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The encoding "Cp1251" is not supported.
or the windows-1251 is not supported.
I do not know what to do at all, I am really struggling and was wondering if anyone had any idea about where I can go from here, or even if someone can just tell me I am fighting a loosing battle I would be happy.
Yours Truly Hopefully,
Gillian Daniel

either you configure FOP to use a SAX Parser that supports Cp1251 or you encode your XML data to UTF-8.
we flawlessly generate Greek PDF documents out of data selected from Oracle 8.1 by using UTF-8.
